Events and Announcements

Attention International Students

The College of Graduate Studies has been notified that the Department of State is
currently experiencing technical problems with their visa systems. This issue is
not specific to any particular country, citizenship documents, or visa category. This
could affect your ability to schedule a visa appointment, complete a background check,
or receive your visa. Consular offices have no timeline of when they will be fully
operational.

Additionally, SEVIS has planned an outage from 8pm on Friday, June 26th through 8PM on Sunday, June 28th with the possibility of a bit longer of a delay. Students will not be able to pay
their I-901 fee during this time. Visa issuance could be affected. If you are traveling
during this time, expect long delays at U.S. ports of entry. Students might be selected
for and sent to secondary inspection, since Customs and Border officials will not
have access to your immigration record.

New Graduate Assistants/Teaching Assistants/Research Assistants: Sign up for the upcoming orientation at 615-898-2840 or graduate@mtsu.edu.
